<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>Creating Symbols for the Look-up 
Dialog.<BR><BR></STRONG>The Symbol Look-up dialog includes nearly all U.S. and 
Canadian stocks and<BR>mutual funds. However, if you follow securities that do 
not have a universally<BR>accepted symbol format, like futures, indices, or 
international securities, the<BR>symbols you need may not be included in the 
Symbol Look-up dialog.<BR>To accommodate these types of symbols, you can create 
your own groups of<BR>symbols inside the Symbol Look-up dialog using an ASCII 
file with<BR>a "SYM" extension.<BR>The Symbol Look-up dialog may also be used to 
enter and customize large<BR>groups of securities.&nbsp; You may find this 
helpful for posting recommended lists<BR>of securities to clients or colleagues, 
keeping lists of securities in separate<BR>portfolios, creating custom industry 
groups, 
etc.<BR><BR>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>To 
create your own groups in the Symbol Look-up dialog<BR><BR>1. Open a new ASCII 
file in a text editor (e.g. WordPad, Notepad)<BR><BR>2. Type the list of 
securities to add to the Symbol Look-up dialog using the<BR>&nbsp;following 
format (Note the comma's and no comma at the end):<BR><BR>&nbsp;&lt;security 
name&gt;,&lt;symbol&gt;,&lt;exchange&gt;<BR><BR>Example:<BR>Microsoft,MSFT,NASD<BR>Apple 
Computer,AAPL,NASD<BR>Oracle,ORCL,NASD<BR>Iomega,IOM,NYSE<BR><BR>Each individual 
security must be entered on a separate line in the text editor.<BR>&nbsp;The 
&lt;exchange&gt; and &lt;security name&gt; entries are completely 
optional.<BR><BR>You may also create an ASCII file using the following 
format:<BR><BR>&lt;symbol&gt;<BR><BR>Example:<BR>MSFT<BR>AAPL<BR>ORCL<BR>IOM<BR><BR>In 
the example above, the ASCII file contains only one field per line<BR>(i.e., the 
symbol).&nbsp; Since the &lt;security name&gt; is not provided, 
The<BR>DownLoader will attempt to provide a &lt;security name&gt; from 
the<BR>existing symbol look-up list.&nbsp; For example, since the symbol look-up 
list<BR>in The DownLoader associates the symbol "MSFT" to the security 
name<BR>"Microsoft," the name "Microsoft" will automatically be used in 
the<BR>&lt;security name&gt; field.&nbsp; However, if The DownLoader does not 
find a match<BR>for the &lt;symbol&gt; in the existing list, the symbol itself 
will be used in place<BR>of the &lt;security name&gt;.<BR><BR>3. Save the ASCII 
file with the extension ".SYM" (e.g. "COMPUTER.SYM")<BR><BR>Note that when you 
save the file in Notepad or Wordpad, it will add a ".TXT"<BR>extension after the 
file name (e.g. "COMPUTER.SYM.TXT").&nbsp; Rename the file<BR>so the Symbol 
Look-up dialog correctly recognizes the file format.<BR><BR>4. Place the ASCII 
file in&nbsp; the same folder as The DownLoader program<BR>(e.g. "c:\Program 
Files\Equis\The DownLoader")<BR><BR>5. Open The DownLoader and display the 
Symbol Look-up dialog.</FONT></DIV>

Hello list,

Has anybody a Metastock formula for TC2000 Money Stream, by BOP (Balance of
Power) and TSV (Time segmented Volume) indicators.

There was a post early in the year about TSV, that worden brother's father
was designing an indicator counting ticks in the day.

The formula given to the Metastock list by Michel Guibert (thanks Michel)
for TSV was :

Sum( 
    If( C, >, Ref(C,-1), +V*C-Ref(C,-1), 
        If( C, <, Ref(C,-1), -V*C-Ref(C,-1), 0) ),18)
with a moving average of 9, I think I am not very far ?????

Do anybody has formulas for BOP and MoneyStream, or an enhanced formula for TSV.

I would in fact like to write an explorer partially based on those formulas.

Thanks

Laurent
